Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni Tuesday received sound backing from the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, who refused to blame him for his team's shock ouster from the T20 WC.
Dhoni has found himself in the firing line for his decisions on the batting order and his own indifferent form after the defending champions were shown the door by unfancied England at Lord's on Sunday.

India's coach Gary Kirsten pointed fingers at the cash-rich Indian Premier League for his team's ouster from the T20 WC, saying it had left the players tired.
India, who won the inaugural T20 Worlds in South Africa two years ago, lost both their Super Eight matches to the West Indies and hosts England to be knocked out before the semi-finals.

West Indies captain Chris Gayle was a happy man as his side atoned in part for their "disaster tour" of England by going through to the semi-finals of the T20 WC at the hosts' expense.
Set a revised target of 80 in nine overs, West Indies beat England by five wickets in a rain-affected match at the Oval here on Monday.
